South Harting walk on 3rd December 2025

The 4.3 mile walk around South Harting promised to be a bit squelchy underfoot because of the torrential rain over the previous few days.  We congregated near The White Hart in South Harting, welcoming a new walker, John before wandering up to the start point at St Mary and St Gabriel’s church.  The stocks outside the church were sampled, before walking around the back of South Harting to cross the road to Petersfield, over the field onto West Harting Road.  Taking the east footpath on the village outskirts we stopped a couple of times to watch the deer in the farm towards Upperton on muddy paths through woodland.  Crossing Bohemia Hollow, we followed the path across a stream where a suitable tree trunk served as a seat for our coffee break.  Stirring ourselves, up the hill and into East Harting we left the road onto the west path by Hollist Farm, turning south to skirt the water treatment works where we managed to persuade someone to take a team photo.  A right turn over a field reminded us that we should have come with our Regency outfits on to pose in front of an idyllic period house.  More field walking brought us to Mill Lane and back to South Harting to enjoy a long lunch at The White Stag.
